Craig, you were a faithful family member and loyal friend. I remember that infectious smile, along with that mischievous smirk, so well. I know that youvare with your brother, Jack, now... Please say "Hello" to him for me. You we a convert to our Catholic faith and I am so proud of your loyalty to it. Like your brother, Jack, you approached life with gustoand left it too young. Continue to Rest in Peace and may Perpetual Light continue to shine upon you. May your family and friends (including me) be comforted by fond memories of you. Amen. A.M.D.G.

I can't believe it's been so long, Craig. I miss you and your brother, Jack. And, hope you both continue to Rest in Peace with our loving God. Amen. A.M.D.G. We have lot's of fond memories as SF childhood neighbors and friends... it is difficult to realize that it was so long ago... You and your brother, Jack will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Amen.

Craig,

You are with God now and he decided to take you as a young man. He probably did so because he needed you to do other things for Him. You were always good at doing things for others, Craig.

Since you are with your dad, your mom, and your brother Jack (my Godson) now, please say "Hello" to them for me. And tell them that I have VERY fond memories of them and your sisters, Kathy, Karen, Patty, and, your caring brother, Bill who are still with us.

Growing up with you and your family on Ulloa Street in San Francisco was an honor, privilege, pleasure, and one of the BEST times in my life. If you remember, Craig, as your next door neighbors, we had many good times with all of you, especially during the holidays; we were in and out of each others houses constantly.

But, the most vivid and physical thing that I remember about you specifically, Craig, is that constant, perpetual BIG smile on your face! I see it right now and I will NEVER forget that.

And, I'm sure that it is a bright as ever now in Heaven.

God Bless you always, Craig. And, please use your influence with God to pray for the rest of us still here.

Sincerely,
- Ray Brown

Craig,

I’ve known you for over 30 years, change and grow. I never realized how many lives you touched in so many positive ways. Your passing was so sudden, I am still in disbelief. May every dream you’ve ever wanted be true now. I’ll leave my hope in that. Bob.

Much love and sympathy to all his friends and family members.

Craig,

I really don’t know how to put this in words. You left us too soon. I am missing you every day. Rest in peace. I love you. Your brother, Bill.

Craig-o... I am so saddened; but will never forget the many memories I have of you. You must have punched me in the arm 100 times over the years; many times for no reason at all. That was part of our friendship. You were always so kind and caring, sometimes hiding behind a tough exterior (especially in the early years). I appreciate the friendship we had and the friend that you were. I will miss seeing you and catching up.

December 13, 2010

CRAIG,
THE FEW STORIES I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU AND THE DOZENS I'VE HEARD FROM ROB AND JOE, MAKE YOU A LEGEND IN THE FOLKLORE OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS. I'M GLAD I WAS ABLE TO SEE YOU AGAIN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AT JOE'S. YOU BROUGHT A LOT OF FUN INTO MANY LIVES. YOU WERE A GOOD MAN.

On the behalf of Clayton Bowl staff we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Craig's family. Craig will be greatly missed on the weekends when he and Del would come and bowl 5 games and order their diet pepsi and chicken. He was always so very friendly and caring. We always looked forward to seeing them come in. He will be greatly missed by us here at the bowl.

My brother Joe shared this story on our way back yesterday. You guys had bought a chep picture from a garage sale or something and then you set into play the following: Joe walking down the street holding this picture...you walk towards him on the same sidewalk. You stop him and said "hey! what's that?" Joe says "this is my picture". You then grab it and break it over his head! Joe's standing there with a picture frame around his neck sadly saying "this was my picture" Witnesses go to Joes aid and take off in hot pursuit trying to catch you. They never did, of course. I heard so many of these funny stories while growing up. What a legacy of fond funny memories you've left in the Helmstreit clan. We love you

On my wedding day you shook my hand and gave me your niece as my bride, I hope that I am able to make her feel special and loved the way you made Del feel everyday.
I can never get used to not seeing you walk into our parties anymore you always had Bills cake in one arm and Del in the other.
You loved wholeheartedly and unconditionally.
I know you will be the first person there to meet us on the other side to "show us the ropes".
It has truly been an honor to know you and be part of the Morgan family.
So I bid you farewell Craig my uncle my friend my "bro", until we meet again.

My goodness Craig. I thought I'd never speak to you again when I found out that you and Rob threw my favorite army jacket onto the top of the 72 bus from the roof of my house on 19th ave. You were a pain in my butt but I always knew you loved me. I found that out many times when you would protect me from the REAL bad guys. Anyone who messed with me had to deal with you!
Our family cared for you and yours very much and we will miss you deeply.

I am sad to hear about Craig's passing. I played softball with Craig in San Francisco for several years and enjoyed his gregarious company and humor. Though I have lost track of Craig, I remember him fondly. My condolences to his family.

Uncle Craig, I couldn't even believe this happened when I first heard. There are a lot of things I'd loved to have talked to you about, that I just never did because I assumed I had plenty of time. I definitely did not appreciate you enough while you were around, but I hope you know how much I love you and how much I'm going to miss you. You always made me feel better about being a nerd and asking for books almost every Christmas...you always asked about my life and were interested in knowing what I was up to. And you always asked about my mom, which I thought was really nice. I hope you two can catch up now that you're both wherever the afterlife takes you. So much love, until we meet again <3

On behalf of the Moore Family, I wish to extend our deep sadness over Craig's untimely death. Many, many Sunday afternoons were spent at the Morgan house on Ulloa where we raced up and down that staircase. I am sure Mrs. Morgan was thoroughly exasperated. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

I speak for my family who all enjoyed Craig's sense of humor and good sense of family -- all while having much fun and memories in the Sunset. . My nephew currently lives across the street from the Morgan house on Ulloa and I tell him stories that make me smile (and him laugh and say,,, really???). May he rest in peace and know that we all are here for him and his family. God bless you all -- Cathy Cummings (Ver Hage)
